The official website of 24 was hosted at http://www.fox.com/24 over the course of the series' original run. The website featured full episodes and clips, episode summaries, character and cast profiles, games, and many other features, changing from season to season. The site was reactivated for the 2014 event series 24: Live Another Day, and again for the 2017 spinoff 24: Legacy.
Recurring features[]
- Character profiles
- For the first six seasons, profiles were written for prominent characters outlining their work and educational histories. Marc Cerasini contributed the character profiles for season 1, which were later included and expanded in his novel Findings at CTU.
- For the season 7 redesign, tabs suggested the existence of character profiles for each of the main cast, but these were never made available. No profiles were featured for season 8 or later seasons.
- Research Files
- The Research Files were informative essays released weekly, exploring a real-world concept featured in that week's episode. The Research Files were discontinued after Season 6.
